The Neighborhood IGNITE (Innovation Grants for Neighborhood Inspiration, Transformation, and Enhancement) Grant Program. The program can provide $10,000 grants to neighborhood associations to jumpstart projects that positively impact their community, with the goal of improving South Bend neighborhoods through innovative projects that spark community engagement and are led by neighborhood residents themselves.

The Office of the Mayor and South Bend’s Engagement and Economic Empowerment team invite neighbors and neighborhood groups to apply for an “Acts of Kindness” grant. These grants, which came about during the height of the covid epidemic, are designed to allow for creative projects to benefit neighbors in small, but meaningful, ways.

The Service Catalog is here to support neighborhoods in all sorts of nuts-and-bolts ways - printing, websites, connections to resources, etc.
